The Museum of Lost Art

True tales of lost art; built around case studies of famous works; their creators; and stories of disappearance and recovery. From the bestselling author of The Art of Forgery comes this dynamic narrative that tells the fascinating stories of artworks stolen; looted; or destroyed in war; accidentally demolished or discarded; lost at sea or in natural disasters; or attacked by iconoclasts or vandals; works that were intentionally temporal; knowingly destroyed by the artists themselves or their patrons; covered over with paint or plaster; or recycled for their materials. An exciting read that spans the centuries and the continents.
